I am using FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, the version of X which comes on the installation cdrom (downloaded/burnt the iso image). By not working properly, I mean that no matter what type of display I try to configure it for, it will not startup. I suspect it has something to do with the refresh frequency but I am not entirely sure... as far as I undertsnad it the screen on this thing is a set 60hz horizontal refresh, (have no clue what is, nor how to discover the verticle refresh rate). It attempts to startup using the SVGA server, but basically deletes all modes stating something like: (--) SVGA: Mode "1024x768" needs hsync freq of 35.52 khz. Deleted. (--) SVGA: Mode "1024x768" needs hsync freq of 48.36 khz. Deleted. (--) SVGA: Mode "1024x768" needs hsync freq of 56.48 khz. Deleted. ... etc There's about thirty modes it states the above for, at various resolutions. I've just recently gotten X to actually startup using this configuration, but I get a screen resolution that looks like 320x200 or something awfully close to that. Any suggestions as to what I might try to tweak w/ in the config file would be great? > > I've got a Compaq Presario 725CA, and I cannot seem to get the display > > configured properly for X-windows.
